Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift will look to bounce back after a sluggish start to the 2025 season. Through four games, Swift has logged 56 carries for 187 yards and two touchdowns, adding 13 receptions for 85 yards through the air. It's been an inefficient stretch for the former second-round pick, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, with only one broken tackle so far. Rookie Kyle Monangai has impressed early, which could start to pressure Swift's workload if his struggles continue. The matchup against the Commanders isn't ideal either, as they've allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, Swift torched Washington last year for 129 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, showing he's capable of breaking out in this spot. Swift projects as a low-end RB2, as he hopes to rebound off a slow start.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. Swift has delivered modest production through the first three games of the season, amassing 143 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He ranks as the 24th-best running back in terms of fantasy scoring but should really be viewed as a mid-to-low RB3/flex, especially given that his snap share has declined since Week 1. We could see more Kyle Monangai on Sunday, but Swift will still be the primary option.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is likely to be active for the Week 4 matchup between Chicago and the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran back is officially listed as questionable on the Bears's final injury report, though it seems as if he'll still play this week. He's been a serviceable starter this year with some receiving upside, catching nine passes on 11 targets through three games, albeit on offense that has really struggled at times. Swift is a playable flex option this week against a good Raiders run defense.
Sep 28, 2025 7:25 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Raiders. Swift was limited in practice throughout the week, but early signs suggest he's trending toward suiting up on Sunday. Through three games, he's logged 42 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown, along with nine receptions for 63 yards. While the numbers don't jump off the page, there are some positives point to better days ahead. The Bears' offense has been rolling under new head coach Ben Johnson, ranking ninth in points scored and coming off a statement win over Dallas. Swift has also been the clear lead back, handling 66% of the snaps and dominating backfield touches. Week 4 brings a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. In a game that projects to be high scoring, Swift should again see steady usage, and any trip to the end zone would push him into RB2 territory, assuming he's good to go.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Swift was limited in practice throughout this week due to a hip injury. For what it's worth, the veteran running back logged three limited practices leading into Week 3 with a quad injury, and ended up playing in his team's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Swift has recorded 212 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 51 total touches so far in 2025. If he were to miss Week 4 or see a limited workload due to the injury, Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai would likely be the beneficiary. Assuming Swift is good to go on Sunday, he profiles as a solid RB3/flex option against Las Vegas.
Sep 26, 2025 3:43 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week with a hip injury. Swift will probably be able to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but he might need a full practice on Friday to avoid going into the weekend with a questionable status. The 26-year-old is Chicago's clear RB1 through three weeks and is averaging 17 touches per game. Through the first three weeks of 2025, Swift has 42 rushing attempts for 149 yards (career-low 3.5 yards per carry) and one touchdown, adding nine receptions for 63 yards on 12 targets. The Raiders have been decent against opposing RBs so far this year, but Swift's volume alone puts him at least in the RB3/flex mix this weekend if he's active. If he does not play, the Bears would split backfield work among rookie Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson.
Sep 25, 2025 3:38 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) was limited on Wednesday due to a hip injury. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status as Swift was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest due to a quadriceps injury. While he was able to suit up, it appears he exited that contest with an additional injury. In their victory over the Cowboys, Swift took only 13 carries for 33 yards and added 45 yards on three receptions. In this contest, D'Andre Swift logged his lowest snap total of the season. This opened the door for rookie Kyle Monangai to see an uptick in work. If Swift were to remain limited in practice this week, the rookie could see another sizeable role facing the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend.
Sep 24, 2025 4:16 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is officially active for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of gameday. The veteran running back will play through his injury while leading Chicago's backfield against Dallas. He has delivered very modest production through two weeks, totaling 35 touches, 134 scrimmage yards, one touchdown, and one lost fumble. He ranks as a mid-range RB3/flex in fantasy football.
Sep 21, 2025 3:47 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (calf) will play through the injury when his team plays host to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The running back is listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he'll be in Chicago's starting lineup come game time against Dallas. Swift has been solid for the struggling Bears, ranking as the No. 22 overall running back through two weeks despite the 0-2 start. Due to his steady receiving workload and a middling Cowboys defense against running backs, Swift is a startable flex option in Week 3.
Sep 21, 2025 7:31 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Swift was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable. Through the first two games, Swift has carried 29 times for 116 yards and one touchdown, plus six catches for 18 yards in the passing game. He's now facing a Dallas defense that has been vulnerable to the run, allowing 4.1 yards per carry so far this season. The favorable matchup, along with his expected availability, makes Swift a solid RB2/Flex option for fantasy managers in Week 3.
Sep 20, 2025 4:11 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Swift has been limited in practice all three days this week and enters Week 3 with the questionable tag. Swift is coming off a mixed outing against his former team, where he logged 12 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for six yards in the Bears' blowout loss to the Lions. While the production was solid against a tough Detroit run defense, Swift's costly fumble and the emergence of rookie Kyle Monangai stood out. Swift played 56% of the snaps compared to Monangai's 42%, though that split may have been skewed by the game script once the contest got out of hand. Swift remains the Bears' lead back and draws a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, who allowed the third-most yards per carry in 2024 and have continued to struggle against the run in 2025. Assuming Swift is active, he has a clear path to finishing as a top-20 fantasy running back this week. If inactive, Monangai would take over the workload, with Roschon Johnson sliding into the backup role. Look for the Bears to activate a running back off the practice squad on Saturday, which would signal that Swift will be inactive.
Sep 20, 2025 11:25 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quad) is questionable to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a quad injury, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Swift has dominated snaps at running back so far this year for Chicago, logging 134 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 35 total touches. If Swift were to miss Week 3, rookie running back Kyle Monangai would likely be the lead back in Chicago with Roschon Johnson potentially working in as a short-yardage option. Monangai has recorded just 47 scrimmage yards on nine total touches through his first two games. Dallas' defense has struggled so far this season, so Monangai would potentially have some appeal as a flex option if called into action as Chicago's RB1.
Sep 19, 2025 3:24 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is dealing with a quad injury going into a Week 3 date with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday and has put in two limited practices so far this week, according to Phillip Thompson of the Chicago Tribune. If Swift isn't a full-go in Friday's practice, he could head into Sunday with a questionable tag. The 26-year-old has been Chicago's clear RB1 through two weeks of the 2025 season, turning 29 carries into 116 yards (4.0 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding six catches for 18 yards through the air. If he's able to play in Week 3 against what has been a porous Cowboys defense, Swift should be considered on the RB2/3 borderline in fantasy. If he is out or limited at all against Dallas, the Bears will use more of Roschon Johnson and rookie Kyle Monangai.
Sep 18, 2025 3:53 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the week in case this injury begins to linger. However, seeing him open the week in limited capacity should not put him in danger of missing their Week 3 clash against the Dallas Cowboys. Through the first two weeks of the season, Swift has operated as the clear workhorse back of the Chicago backfield, taking 29 carries for 116 yards and a score. Through the air, Swift has seen eight targets and brought in six receptions for 18yards. If Swift were to be limited in Week 3, fantasy managers should expect rookie Kyle Monangai to take on a larger workload.
Sep 17, 2025 4:08 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to bounce back after an inefficient outing to start the season. Swift was the workhorse in Week 1, totaling 20 attempts for 65 yards against the difficult Minnesota Vikings run defense. Head coach Ben Johnson stated, "He needs to call more run plays." The matchup is just as difficult in Week 2, as Swift faces the Lions defense, which allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to running backs in 2024. The Lions' defense was able to contain Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who averaged 3.5 yards per carry in Week 1. Swift struggled against his former team last season, averaging less than three yards per carry in those games. Swift is a mid to low-RB3 this week, with his fantasy production likely depending on whether he scores a touchdown or not.
Sep 12, 2025 11:07 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift didn't have huge totals against the stout Vikings defense on Monday Night Football, but the good news for his fantasy value is that he was clearly still the featured back. He took 17 carries for 53 rushing yards, while no other running back received even one carry. Roschon Johnson (foot) was sidelined, and rookie Kyle Monangai only played nine snaps, getting one target and no carries. Swift had five targets and hauled in three catches for 12 yards, but he wasn't able to get into the end zone to put his fantasy production over the top. His role as the featured back is encouraging, though, for his value going forward. He and the Bears head to Detroit to face the Lions in Week 2, after Detroit allowed Josh Jacobs to take 19 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Swift will be touchdown-dependent, but he's lined up for enough work to still be a starter in most standard leagues.
Sep 9, 2025 9:31 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enters his sixth NFL season, and his second in Chicago. Swift is looking to build on a solid 2024 campaign, where he averaged 11.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game and finished as the RB19. The Bears brought in former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who previously worked with Swift in Detroit in 2022. Swift is positioned for a ton of volume in Week 1, with backup running back Roschon Johnson (foot) questionable. Swift's role should keep him in fantasy lineups, but Week 1 presents a difficult test against a Vikings defense that surrendered the eighth-fewest half-PPR points to running backs last year. Swift's volume and scheme familiarity make him a steady option, though the matchup caps his ceiling. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 for Week 1.
Sep 6, 2025 4:18 PM EST
Dan Wiederer of The Athletic believes Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift could surpass 1,500 yards from scrimmage this season. While that mark may not be realistic, there are more than a few reasons to believe Swift might be in line for his best year to date. Ben Johnson, the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator and new Bears head coach, was instrumental in the success of Jamaal Williams, David Montgomery, and Jahmyr Gibbs. With Johnson "devoted" to the run and the Bears lacking proven depth in the backfield, the door is open for Swift to thrive. The 26-year-old has bounced around the National Football League since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In 73 regular-season contests with the Lions, Eagles, and Bears, he's accumulated 3,688 yards and 29 touchdowns off 846 carries, adding eight more scores as a pass-catcher. Quarterback Caleb Williams will certainly get his opportunities to run in 2025. However, Swift should remain atop the depth chart as long as he's productive. If not, rookie Kyle Monangai could be the favorite to take over in the backfield.
Aug 30, 2025 6:18 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift was working in two-minute drills during Saturday's practice. The lead back job remains up in the air right now, but Swift seems the most likely starter to open the season. Last season, Swift rushed for 959 yards with six touchdowns while hauling in 42 receptions for an additional 386 yards through the air in 17 games during his first year in Chicago. It's worth noting that the Bears also have Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai competing for touches in the backfield. The Bears do have new head coach Ben Johnson leading the way in Chicago. Possibly, Johnson decides to use Swift in a different role this upcoming season. This is a situation to monitor throughout training camp.
Jul 27, 2025 10:01 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift said rookie Kyle Monangai is a "great addition" to the running back room. Monangai was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft following a productive final two seasons at Rutgers. The 23-year-old tallied at least 1,200 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in his junior and senior seasons. Now in Chicago, he could be competing for the RB2 role behind Swift with Roschon Johnson. "He don't really lack anything from what I'm seeing," Swift said. "Confident in his style of play, real low to the ground, great catching the ball out of the backfield. Solid, real solid." While seventh-round picks rarely make significant fantasy football impacts in Year 1, the Bears have one of the weaker RB units in the NFL, making Monangia one to watch as training camp progresses. He should be stashed in deep dynasty leagues.
